Symantec's Views on Protecting Mobile Devices

Billions of mobile devices exist and as they proliferate and begin to be used for mobile banking we can expect to see more attacks from malicious users looking to follow the money trail. In addition, as more children and teenagers access use mobile devices, new problems have arisen. A few of these are cyber-bullying and sexting - where people send inappropriate pictures of themselves. Finally, as mobile devices have become more powerful they are now also conduits for losing enterprise data.

I had a chance to discuss a number of security concerns as they relate to mobile devices with Symantec's Ray Greenan and Matts Aronsson. A video below captures some of our illuminating conversation.
